Is there a way to force a control to load?

Question

Is there a way to have an "off view" control load while it's not in view?
Pivot control with some PivotItems. On the second pivot item, there is a control that I need to be able to set a property of but my code simply will not run because the control hasn't been loaded (since the control is on the second pivot item and the second
pivot item hasn't been selected by the user yet)
I was hoping there was some type of Load() function or something that I could use to force a control on the second pivot item to load before my code runs. If there isn't I'll have to find some other way to do what I wanted but I was just going to see
if you guys had any suggestions first.

Answer 1

A Control loads itself as it gets drawn on the screen, for example when you add this Control as a child of another control.
For example, this Code immediately loads the StackPanel:
// Load UI-Control at runtime
StackPanel p = new StackPanel();
p.Loaded += __myLoadHandler;
this.myGrid.Childrens.Add(p);
// Handle "Loaded-Event" of the Stackpanel
__myLoadHandler(object sender, EventArgs e /* Is this the right type? */) {
// Will be called after 'Childrens.Add()'
// This even works when the control is out of the field or its visibily is hidden.
